    I’m just imagining trolling this. Doing a couple of the pubes slightly crossed kinda over one of the options so the candidates have to take time discussing whether they think it counts as a vote or not.

        We have that in Canada too. It’s to prevent vote buying/intimidation. People would mark their ballot to prove they voted for the person they were supposed to.
